Some of our show booths

Come to the Girlfriends Market and meet my new "Buddy"

Meet Buddy possibly the sweetest Mut I have ever met! He is Lindas (Luluz) precious pup and he got to hang out with the girls today! He even put up with us trying to make him look even cuter than he already is in one of Lindas party hats.

My little booth 8x10 to be exact which is the smallest space I have ever done, but I liked it! Less hauling, easier decorating , cozy, and I didn't have to use my brain too much! Which is a really good thing after this crazy month of shows, holiday decorating and being sick off and on for weeks!

What a Super Fun Day with some Super Girlfriends! (And a few boyfriends). This show is loaded with Vintage Christmas, a mix of primitive furniture, jewelry and some great collectibles! If you didnt make it Friday night the show is open all day Saturday from 9to4.

Girlfriends Holiday Market and a Hometown Holiday in Sumner

Visit Downtown Sumner this Saturday Nov. 14th for the Hometown Holiday open Houses all day in the shops!And then take a ride out to Lacey for some more fun at

Girlfriends Holiday Market this weekend at Thurston County Fairgrounds in the old Log building.

White Wednesday junkorama

Loaded for the Puyallup show this weekend

This load really does just look like a pile of junk!

I adore this little lamp shade and zipper glass compote

This was a great cupboard we had in the shop for a very short while it now resides in a lovely ladies house in Oregon.

When somebody loves you

This is a note my sister sent me today just out of the blue for no special reason at all. Nobody has ever sent me a letter quite like this. She is the most kind hearted person I know and I am so lucky to have someone who loves me like she does!

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU AND YOUR SUCCESS SIS!!! WHAT A GREAT SUCCESS STORY YOU ARE! and you never give up...tenacity, determined, driven, enthusiastic, beautiful, business minded, self directed, precious sister, great friend, creative to no end!! open minded, did I say beautiful?, intelligent, negotiator, fabulous mom and wife, !!! all this and more!! i love you sissy!! Your big Sis
Mae Olivia
So I would like to pass this on to all sisters. It has taken alot of years for me to realize how lucky I am to be a sister ( I am the youngest one of four) and that we are more alike than different. It hasn't always been easy growing up in a "normal" disfunctional family, but somehow for the most part we have figured out a way to put the "fun" back in disfunctional!
I love you Mae Mae

When a photograph is more than just a photo

A friend of mine sent me some amazing photos today. I just had to share this one!

White wednesday White trucks

Well I guess we have a thing for not only white junk, but white junk haulers.
This is the original Junk Hauler a 1966 chevy which belonged to my father in law and he handed down to my husband about 15 years ago. I think this was the coolest junk hauler to date! We still own it, but it is now making the rounds at the car shows with it's big new hot rod engine! ( that I can no longer drive...something to do with a Hurst shifter?)
This is my current junk hauler, I do love my Tundra and power steering is a plus!

This little old white Toyota served me well for quite a few years it would always be a sight to be seen coming down the road with the heaping loads in the back!

It's been an exciting week for me!

Well you voted and we won!
We came in the top 5 of the best antique shops in the Northwest. 5Th place, it's not 1st, but we'll take it! King 5 actually lists only the top 5 so it's wonderful free advertisement for our store! Thank you to all who took TIME (which is very valuable I know) to vote for us! I am so very guilty of surfing blog land and not leaving all the comments that I would like to on so many of your wonderful blogs. It seems I'm always in a rush trying to surf as many sites as possible and getting a post up in a timely manner.
Now on a personal note I would like to Thank Tina Smith from Cherry Hill Cottage for honoring me as one of her top 10 favorite cottage blogs. Tina is from Texas and has been in several wonderful magazines like Cottage style and currently in Romantic cottages. Her blog is so scrumptious and colorful full of great fun! Please stop by and visit her and tell her Amy sent ya!
